New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi renewed his pitch for Make in India across sectors -- from mobiles to semiconductors and electronics, saying the government is accelerating the pace of reforms, offering the best investment opportunities.
Speaking at the inauguration of India Mobile Congress in New Delhi on October 8, he said India's democratic setup, the government's welcoming approach, and ease of doing business policies have helped the country attain an image of an investor-friendly destination.
"This is the best time to invest, innovate and make in India," he said, adding, "We are increasing the pace of reforms". India, he said, offers immense opportunities in the manufacturing of semiconductors, mobiles, and electronics. Industry, innovators, and startups need to step up now, he said.
Listing tremendous progress made by India in the digital space in the last decade, he said 1 GB of wireless data in India is cheaper than the cost of one cup of tea. The PM added that India has the world's second-largest telecom market, the second-largest 5G market, the manpower, mobility, and mindset to lead.
